P. 1Professionalism ~ Integrity ~ Compassion

ith 2015 clearly in our rear view mirror there was much accomplished.

First and foremost, the District celebrated its first anniversary as the Greater

Naples Fire Rescue District on November 4th. The first full year came with

many successes due to the diligence and dedication from everyone in the

organization. New uniforms, apparatus, policies, procedures, collective

bargaining agreement and employee handbook are subtle reminders of the

many hours of work for so many.

W

A significant accomplishment for the Fire District was the development of the strategic plan. This

process incorporates the best vision and forward-thinking of the men and women whose services are

essential to the District’s operations and future growth. The District called upon 30 fire service

professionals and community leaders whose opinions and recommendations assisted in shaping and

focusing the plan. Working with an experienced strategic planning consultant from January through April

2015, this group has articulated the Mission, Vision, Values, and Strategies that were ultimately adopted

and serve as our guiding principles.

Another notable accomplishment was the assumption of management of the Isles of Capris MSTU Fire

District. After many years of discussion with Collier County resulting in too many false starts,

assumptions and disappointments, the District was able to finalize an agreement with County leaders.

This resulted in the current management agreement, leading to a formal pathway to boundary expansion.

Since the management agreement initiated on October 1st, services have been enhanced and former

County employees now have a secure future with a growing and vibrant organization.

One of the most exciting accomplishments during 2015 was the adoption of a Performance Management

platform. This initiative will support enhanced leadership of our supervisors and managers, increase

productivity, moral and communications, and empower our personnel to be the very best. I am extremely

excited about the platform and opportunity for our members and look forward to full implementation in

early 2016.

There has recently been much talk about the future of the Ochopee MSTU Fire District. Last year during

the Isles of Capri negotiations with Collier County it was requested the Fire District provide a plan in

similar fashion for Ochopee. Staff has been working closely with County staff to prepare for formal

discussions to initiate in March of 2016. In preparation for these meetings I have been asked to work with

Broward County on potential funding strategies to support the long-term needs of Ochopee Station 63

(Interstate 75) as well as the Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue Station located in the eastern portion of

Interstate 75.

Another area of interest to many is the future plans for additional fire rescue facilities and apparatus.

Included in this year’s budget is funding for one additional heavy fire apparatus. Due to the assumption of

services in the Isles of Capri there is a need to purchase a boat. Staff is currently holding regular meetings

with the Boat Committee and conducting sea trials of potential watercraft from around South Florida. Staff

will be assessing several financial options to integrate a boat into the District’s long-range apparatus

replacement program.

Office of the Fire Chief By: Kingman Schuldt, Fire Chief

With the projected growth in the District the Planning Section is conducting

a land use analysis. It will be necessary to prioritize the District’s future

needs including a new fleet and training facilities along with several

potential fire stations in the eastern Golden Gate Estates, Tamiami Trail

East and the Sable Palm areas for example.

In closing, we had a very successful 2015 and I am certain 2016 will bring

many more accomplishments and exciting times for our great organization.

It is because of our Values of Professionalism, Integrity and Compassion demonstrated by each of our

members, we are able to provide the most effective services to the Greater Naples Community. Our future

is bright and I am grateful for all that we have and what we have accomplished thus far.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FIRE DISTRICT CHAPLAIN

Reverend G. L. Strom (Pastor Jack) was appointed as District Chaplain this

past December.

Reverend G. L. Strom, or Pastor Jack as he likes to be called, has lived in the

Naples area with his wife Barb since 2002. Pastor Jack is a current resident

of the fire district and serves the Living Waters Church of Estero & Naples,

where he presently functions as Care Pastor.

Since entering clergy service in 1963, Pastor Jack has served as a pastor and educator. Pastor Jack’s most

recent assignment was President of the Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota. He has also been

effective as a Strategic Initiative Planner for churches and para-church organizations across the nation.

Serving as a mentor and a Life Coach has also become a key part of Jack's identity.

In his various roles of service, Pastor Jack has faced many challenges in his leadership assignments. This

has often been through crises management in the organizations he was called to assist. It has caused him to

focus on the needs of the community and especially the crises in the individual lives of the people who

most directly were affected.

When asked if he would accept the position of becoming our Chaplain and assist the Greater Naples Fire

Rescue District fulfill its Mission and Values, Pastor Jack did not hesitate. Since adopting the fire district

Pastor Jack has attended numerous events including the family Christmas party, toy drive and Push Back

ceremonies for the new apparatus.

Having affiliation with a Pastor serving as our Fire District Chaplain is an extremely important component

to build a strong support network for our personnel, organization and community during times of need. We

are extremely pleased to have Pastor Jack and Barb as members of our GNFD family and look forward to

his contributions to the fire district, our members and the community we serve.

Operations Section By: Nolan Sapp, Assistant Chief





s we go into the New Year we put behind us the first full year as a new Fire

District under the new name, new apparatus, new patch and many other firsts.

It’s been a new year with a new Collective Bargaining Unit Agreement and

combined Operating Guidelines, Policies and Administrative Handbook. We

also added an additional Station and response level with the addition of EN90

and Boat 90. Some changes were great while some take time to adjust to. In

the end, the changes will make us a stronger more professional organization.

A

The new apparatus have been a huge success with both the District and the citizens we serve. We have

participated in several functions where we were able to have hundreds of contacts with the general public.

The requests to see the personnel and the apparatus increases each year demonstrating that we are a success

with the community. Comments back show the pride they have with their Fire Rescue District which make

us all proud.

The addition of Ladder 21 has increased the capabilities of the District in the South Battalion. Although not

put to the test, we stand ready for the challenge when it comes. Station 75 has transitioned into a full engine

response capable station from its early start as a two person Rescue Company. Engine 75 went into service

mid-December, the station now operates with three personnel. These changes only makes us stronger, and

provides improved service to the public.

The District enjoyed a busy Holiday Season starting in October doing Trunk or Treat in the Community

Parks on Halloween and Local 2396 participating in another successful turkey drop to those in need in the

community. Then as Christmas approached, we expanded two huge projects District wide; the Toy Drive,

and the Christmas Eve Candy Cane Drive. Director Bishop and Battalion Chief Krajewski again pulled off

flawless events. Both were a great success thanks to the two of them and the many personnel who gave of

themselves on and off duty.

We go into a new year with new

challenges and opportunities. We have

additional apparatus on the way

including the new Ladder 72 which

will also be on display at the Florida

Fire Chief’s Conference this January in

Daytona. Once it makes an

appearance there, we will receive it so we can move forward with training and placement into service. The

new Light and Air truck will arrive shortly after the new ladder truck and will go into service as Squad 72.

Both units will have a “Push Back” ceremony much like the previous units that went into service this past

year. This time honored tradition will continue to commemorate years gone by when horse drawn

apparatus were pushed into the station.

The new Greater Naples Fire Rescue District and its personnel moves into a new year with a new vision

and mission statement. Let’s do so in a safe and professional way.

Special Operations

Special OperationsBy: Andy Krajewski

Battalion Chief

This will be an exciting new year for Special Operations within the Fire

District. The District has supported and assigned Assistant Team

Coordinators for each of the teams- Dive, Hazardous Materials, Technical

Rescue, and MERT. New team members have been added to the District’s

Dive and Hazardous Materials teams. MERT operations is a new concept

to the majority of personnel of the district and we look forward to the

training and learning curve. This past year, personnel took part in the

water training with the United States Coast Guard and the other agencies county-wide involved in MERT.

A Watermanship test was also conducted for those interested in becoming MERT members. These are just

the initial steps into becoming effective and efficient participants in MERT Operations. We also look

forward to the members of the former Isles of Capri providing the District with valuable experience and

understanding of the MERT program county-wide.

This past March our Technical Rescue and Hazardous Materials teams participated in a State-wide annual

training event called SoFLex 2015. This was a fantastic learning experience for our teams and we were

given very positive feedback at the State level. We look forward to the opportunity to participate in

SoFLEx 2016. In keeping with that theme, our team coordinators have been working diligently to put

together a vigorous training schedule which will include training with other agencies county-wide. This

will not only spur better communications among teams at a county level but also enhance the skills of our

team members.





Logistics Section By: Rob Low, Deputy Fire Chief

he first of the sixteen Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives developed by the

National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, is cultural change. “It reflects the

collective perception of right and wrong, good and bad, or desirable and

undesirable actions and characteristics. The safety culture within a fire

department is reflected through its members’ behaviors, attitudes and actions in

and out of the station as well as on the fire ground”.

T

During my first five months as your Logistics

Section Chief, I have taken the opportunity to

assess our culture, operations, and practices as

they relate to our fleet, facility, information

technology, and supply management programs and

have witnessed firsthand the level of dedication

and commitment by all. Presented with aging

facilities, apparatus, and equipment, and a growing

fire district, there are many challenges that we will

face together as a team, and our collective

willingness to accept change is key to our

successes. Over the next few months your

Logistics Section team will be developing a plan

forward that will support the District’s mission,

vision, and values while integrating seamlessly

into each of the four strategies.

It is often stated that firefighters are predisposed to resist change because of the risk associated with it;

remember this cliché “The fire service is 150 years of tradition unimpeded by progress”. If our organization

and culture does not embrace change we are bound to lose more ground and remain stagnate. I encourage

every member to be involved in the processes of change and to be a positive part of the solution as we

begin this journey together and as one; I leave you with this quote from one of the fire services founding

fathers “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished” –Benjamin Franklin

Fire and Life Safety DivisionBy: Shawn Hanson, Division Chief Of Fire &

Life Safety

ire & Life Safety (FLS) celebrated their new location by hosting an Open

House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on October 20th. The event included

dignitary speakers, facility tours and was enjoyed by all. The geographic

location of the new facility plays an integral part in maintaining relationships

with Collier County personnel.

F

FLS staff had another very busy quarter with inspections, fire flows, fire extinguisher training, special

event fire watches, public education events and investigations. Sparky the Fire Dog was in attendance at

the Naples Boo at the Zoo event along with Inspector Aaron Stewart, Inspector Daniel Machin, and

Lieutenant Michael Cruz. Naples Boo at the Zoo was attended by more than 6,100 adults and children over

the 3 day period. Fire Plan Review staff continues to produce about 400 plans every month, creating a

minimum of 1,200 field inspection requests per month. The District will be hiring an additional inspector

within the next quarter to assist with the heavy demand for new construction inspections.

Please welcome the addition of Inspector Kristen King to the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District.

Inspector King has been training with LT Cruz in existing construction inspections. The existing

construction inspectors are responsible for an average of 225 inspections per month. We look forward to

Kristen having a successful career with the GNFD family.

Thank you to the Fire & Life Safety staff for all your hard work and doing so with a high level

professionalism.





The Planning Section for Greater Naples Fire Rescue has been involved with

Research and Development, the Strategic Plan, and Emergency Preparedness.

The Research and development Branch continues to look at new, cost saving

innovative technology and processes. A new Performance Management System

has been reviewed and selected for District wide use. Leadership Training will

take place in January 2016 for all supervisors to provide the tools for using the

new system.

Planning SectionBy: Wayne Martin, MS, EFO

Deputy Director Planning Division

The Strategic Planning Branch has been reviewing the input from the entire district. Fire District staff

participated in a survey to show interest in becoming participants in the future of the Fire District. The

Strategic Plan lays out broad objectives to be met. Members can participate in the development and

implementation. In early 2016 groups will be formed to look at the strategies to implement the strategic

plan. The Branch will monitor the accomplishments and results and report on the progress.

The transition of Isles of

Capri Fire Rescue (ICFD)

into GNFD has been flawless.

Effective October 1, 2015 all

ICFD employees became

employees of Greater Naples

Fire Rescue. This brought on

six full time Firefighters,

The Planning Section has spent countless hours working on Incident Action Plans (IAP’s) for events and

activities. An IAP ensures that the District is using the Incident Management System on a regular basis. By

using an IAP for events when it is used for a large scale emergency the District will be very familiar with its

use.

As the Section responsible for the promulgation of Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG’s) and Policies

many hours are spent every month in the creation of new SOG’s. Input from the Governing Documents

Committee and Local 2396 has kept this important process moving.

Fact finding has taken place for future needs for Logistics, Fleet and Training needs of District. This effort

continues on identifying at least 10 acres of property in the County Road 951 and Interstate 75 corridor.

Drivers, and Lieutenants. One of the two firefighters that had been moved into the GNFD Firefighter

Apprentice program has gained Full Time status with the GNFD. Each Section of the GNFD stepped up to

make the transition smooth for the District and Collier County.

Health & Safety

By: Brian Heath

Chairman- Health & Safety Committee

What do you want to look back and remember about 2016? Is this the year

you take your retirement health seriously? We all know the statistics about

post-retirement life spans; let’s be the generation that turns this around.

First and foremost, the responsibility for your health lies on you. The

district provides many tools to assist us in maintaining a healthy lifestyle,

but we must choose to take advantage of these tools.

Thomas Warren (retired Providence Rhode Island) gives some great

suggestions for improvement in his article, Meaningful fire service health

and safety is within our grasp.

Warren states, “The two main areas of concern to prevent firefighter deaths

are apparatus accidents and poor physical conditioning, which often leads

to heart attacks” (2012).

Some basics that are still worth noting to help prevent apparatus incidents….

-ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT, follow all SOG;s and traffic laws, Stop at all red lights, never

assume you have the right-of-way, maintain a safe driving speed, only back-up when necessary, and use

spotters when available.

We all know the way to improve our health; exercise, eat right, plenty of sleep, etc. The question is – do

you want to change what you see in the mirror and on the report from your annual physical?

Let’s make 2016 our year. Set goals – NOT resolutions (they never last)

Eat healthy- at home and at the firehouse (cooking and eating together is team-building)

Exercise – working out as a crew also is team-building, and having a work-out buddy will help you stay

motivated to reach your goals. Exercise also helps to reduce stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started

feel free to ask any member of the Health and Safety Committee, we will be happy to assist you.

AND ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT- on and off duty!

Personal and Professional Development: Becoming a Credentialed

Company Officer

erving in the Company Officer role requires a certain set of attributes to meet job

performance requirements (JPRs), ranging from leadership and technical skills to performing

many supervisory and administrative functions. Additionally, Company Officers are

responsible for maintaining organizational continuity with the community and key

stakeholders, ensuring day-to-day operations remain affluent in the firehouse. So how does an

aspiring or current Company Officer maintain current skills, while seeking a continuous path

of personal and professional development? The answer may be Professional Credentialing.

S

What is Credentialing?

Through the Chief Fire Officer (CFO, Chief EMS Officer (CEMSO), Fire Marshal (FM), Chief Training Officer (CTO), and Fire

Officer (FO) professional designation programs, the Commission on Professional Credentialing (CPC) offers emergency services

personnel guidance for career planning and development and recognizes lifelong career excellence and achievement. A

Designation demonstrates that an individual has developed a strategy for continued career improvement and development.

The Fire Officer (FO) Designation Program allows current Company Officers to conduct a self-assessment, providing a list of

objectives and baselines that identify strengths and areas that are in need of improvement. The Center for Public Safety

Excellence (CPSE) helps the Company Officer understand those areas needing improvement—moving those areas into strengths.

Through a holistic view, the CPSE will evaluate the Company Officer using a criterion of seven components, ranging from what

the candidate has accomplished in training, additional roles they serve within their community, and areas that promogluate their

organization through administrative, leadership, and management-skill demonstration.

Benefits

The benefits of becoming a Fire Officer (FO) designee are defined through the CPSE as:

Demonstrating that an individual has developed a strategy for continued career improvement and development.

Highlighting professional and personal growth and providing an individual source of pride.

Developing a commitment to continuing education, training, and skill proficiency.

Improving the promotion and hiring process by enabling authorities to quickly identify individuals with superior skills,

knowledge, and abilities. 1

New Presence in the United States. Since 1918, the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) has fostered the ideal of societal benefit.

The United States of America Branch continues the tradition of fire service leadership as one of 60 branches worldwide and just

over 11,000 members. The IFE awards internationally recognized membership grades and fire-related qualifications on the

foundation of knowledge of fire and professional experience. Additionally, the IFE offers a path to career development through

progressive steps of IFE membership grades, further extending public and private sector contracts worldwide, and validation of

career professional development accomplishments. The benefits of joining the IFE include:

International recognition of competence and commitment.

Evidence of expertise.

Demonstration of a professional attitude valued by employers and customers.

Greater influcence with your own organization and industry. 2

Becoming a credentialed Fire Officer (FO) is more than just a designation—it is a commitment by an individual to maintain a

path of continuous personal and professional development—for the betterment of their organization, the community, and the fire

service initiative. For more information on these organizations, visit www.publicsafetyexcellence.org or www.ife-usa.org

Feedback from our Customer Satisfaction Surveys

“…The team was courteous and discreet in their approach

and handling of the incident. I am somewhat embarrassed to

have made the 911 call but without the E23 team I am

unsure how I could have dealt with the situation…”

“…One of them sat down with me on the

couch and slowly talked me down from what

was quickly heading to a full blown panic

attack. I can't thank these guys enough. I

was so stupid and yet they never treated me

the way I feel I deserved to be treated.

Instead they are were kind, patient,

professional and extremely proficient.”

“…I just knew we were getting ready to lose

everything and the worst thing was we couldn't "find"

the problem so all we could do was wait for the fire

department and pray. They arrived so fast and were

such calming influences…”

“Very compassionate

and understanding. My

husband has dementia

and they were very

patient and concerned

for him. He had fallen,

luckily not hurt. I am

so appreciative of their

help.”“My husband was having

severe respiratory distress and

it was such relief to see the

rescue unit arrive so quickly,

assess, and treat before they

left for the hospital. I was

confident he was in good

hands and was able to drive

myself to the hospital.”

“My 2 yr. old

grandson was locked

Building New Traditions


In tradition of the fire service, Ladder 21, Water Tender 20 and Engine 75

received their formal “Wet Down” and “Push Back” as was done in the early

days of horse drawn steam engines. These were the first such events for the

Fire District in an effort to bring the rich traditions of the past to the new

organization.
